Hacking #07: Video Games (Closed)

[technologic]

Characters: April and Aleph
Setting: Floor 14
Format: Whichever, though starting with brackets.
Summary: In which April tries to be a good girlfriend and tries to cheer Aleph up after what has happened over the past day or so.

[Despite April's general lack of social skills and tact, she did like to make people she cared about happy. And even April could tell that Aleph wasn't happy, so of course she felt that she needed to do something about this.

Which is why later that day, Aleph will end up being dragged to the media room by April, who is looking equal parts determined and nervous about this.] ... I also made some food too, and it's none of that cafeteria stuff.

[and she'll point at said food in a basket when they walk into the room.]

[alephbet]

That's right. You have to keep up all the time.

[technologic]

I can do that! I don't tire out easily, after all.

[alephbet]

You're as good a fighter as I am.

[technologic]

Eh? [And she turns a bit more red, even as she smiles.] Um-y-yeah, since I'm stronger than I look.

[alephbet]

I'd hate to get into a real fight with you.

[technologic]

You would? You worried I would beat you?

[alephbet]

A little, yeah.

[technologic]

Well, I wouldn't use my powers, so you don't have to worry too much.

[alephbet]

And I wouldn't use my demons. I don't think you could beat all of us together.

[technologic]

Yeah, I really doubt that I could. I know I'm not that strong.

[alephbet]

Sorry. You probably don't want to get an ego that big anyway.

[technologic]

My head would probably explode if I got an ego that big, anyway.

[alephbet]

We wouldn't want that, it might be hard to put you back together.

[technologic]

Yeah, it would be, since you wouldn't be able to just simply tape me back together again.

[alephbet]

I'm not good at that kind of thing.

[technologic]

[She giggles quietly.] I'm sure you wouldn't be too bad at it. Or you could use glue.

[alephbet]

I think there might be health concerns with that. Glue can be toxic.

[technologic]

Hmm... Is there non-toxic glue?

[alephbet]

Probably?

[technologic]

Then you could use that! See, no health concerns. [April that's not how it works]

[alephbet]

I'll remember that.

[technologic]

So no need to worry if my head explodes from too much ego. Though, I don't have much of an ego in the first place.

[alephbet]

It's all a hypothetical anyway.

[technologic]

Yep. But hey, at least we're prepared in case it ever does happen.

[alephbet]

Glad we had this conversation.
